  2. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Due to their structural differences, eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells do not divide in the same way. Also, the pattern of cell division that transforms eukaryotic stem cells into gametes (sperm cells in males or egg cells in females), termed meiosis, is different from that of the division of somatic cells in the body. Cell division over 42.

  3. Nucleophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophile

    In chemistry, a nucleophile is a chemical species that forms bonds by donating an electron pair. All molecules and ions with a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond can act as nucleophiles. Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they are Lewis bases. Nucleophilic describes the affinity of a nucleophile to bond with positively charged ...

  4. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the sequential series of events that take place in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells. These events include the growth of the cell, duplication of its DNA ( DNA replication ) and some of its organelles , and subsequently the partitioning of its cytoplasm, chromosomes and other ...

  5. Eukaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_DNA_replication

    Various cell cycle checkpoints are present throughout the course of the cell cycle that determine whether a cell will progress through division entirely. Importantly in replication the G 1 , or restriction, checkpoint makes the determination of whether or not initiation of replication will begin or whether the cell will be placed in a resting ...

  6. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    DNA replication is an all-or-none process; once replication begins, it proceeds to completion. Once replication is complete, it does not occur again in the same cell cycle. This is made possible by the division of initiation of the pre-replication complex. [citation needed]

  7. Edwards equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwards_equation

    The Edwards equation in organic chemistry is a two-parameter equation for correlating nucleophilic reactivity, as defined by relative rate constants, with the basicity of the nucleophile (relative to protons) and its polarizability. This equation was first developed by John O. Edwards in 1954 [1] and later revised based on additional work in ...

  8. DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

    Before typical cell division, these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication, providing a complete set of chromosomes for each daughter cell. Eukaryotic organisms ( animals , plants , fungi and protists ) store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus as nuclear DNA , and some in the mitochondria as mitochondrial DNA or in ...

  9. Septum (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septum_(cell_biology)

    Cell division is an extremely complex process that contains four different subprocesses. [2] These processes included the growth of a cell, DNA replication, the process of allocating replicated chromosomes to daughter cells, and septum formation. [2] Ultimately, the septum is the crucial ending to mitosis, meiosis, and the division of bacterial ...
